Preventative Dental Care at Willeri Dental
At Willeri Dental, we believe that prevention is always better than cure. By taking a preventative approach to your oral health, you can smile brightly for a lifetime and avoid common dental problems.
Oral Hygiene
Keeping up with excellent oral hygiene habits at home can help to prevent decay and costly dental procedures. In addition to home care, we encourage you to visit us every six months for a checkup and professional cleaning. If you experience any pain, bleeding or have broken teeth between visits, please contact the practice straightaway.
Sealing Out Decay
Quick, painless, and effective, sealants are an ideal way to protect against tooth decay. This thin coating is brushed onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth where deep grooves and fissures exist. These areas can be challenging to clean and as a result become susceptible to decay. Sealants protect these parts of the mouth and also make it easier for us to maintain those surfaces. With proper maintenance, including home care and dental visits, sealants can protect your teeth for many years.
The Body-mouth Link
Did you know that there’s a link between the health of our mouth and the rest of our body? Our mouth is the gateway to our body and has a profound impact on our overall health. There are also strong links between periodontal (gum) disease and a number of chronic conditions. These include diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, erectile dysfunction, pregnancy complications and more.
